The AIOStreams app, audio and subtitle tracks

The headline is the AIOStreams app, for watching without Stremio, with the same addons, filters, sorting and formatting. Open it in a browser on any device, or use the new desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux, which plays what a browser can't. Behind it, every configuration is now a media server that runs on your instance, so there is nothing extra to host, and it speaks Jellyfin's API, so Jellyfin apps such as Swiftfin, Infuse and Kodi can sign in to it too. Your catalogs become libraries, the streams your addons find become versions to pick from, everyone in a household can have their own profile, and addons can act as trackers. A tracker records what you watch and brings back what you watched elsewhere.

For everyone, media info now keeps every audio and subtitle track a file was probed with. The formatter and stream expressions can ask for an English forced subtitle or a commentary track, not just a bare list of languages. The formatter can compare a stream against your own preferences, and variants can insert anywhere in a list. TsukiHime joins the built-in addons with anime torrents and NZBs. The catalog editor is rebuilt for long lists of catalogs. Release groups are parsed more reliably, particularly on usenet, and busy public instances should be more responsive at peak times.

For self-hosters, built-in Newznab and Torznab searches are faster, the dashboard shows whether a newer version is out, and each new feature comes with settings to limit it or turn it off.

The AIOStreams app

The AIOStreams app browses your catalogs and plays what your addons find, with nothing to install or host. It signs in to your configuration's media server, so your streams arrive as versions, sorted and named by your formatter as they are in Stremio. It plays streams with a link, such as debrid and usenet ones. P2P torrents are left out.

It is on the configure page, under Save & Install → AIOStreams app: Open in browser, or download the desktop app.

In your browser

Press Open in browser. If you are signed in on the configure page in the same browser, it signs you straight in; otherwise pick a user and enter your password. Then pick who is watching. On a phone, add it to your home screen from the browser's menu and it opens like an app.

• Browse. Home has Continue Watching, Next Up, the next episodes of shows you are caught up on and a row for each catalog, under a featured title that rotates or follows the card you point at. Discover browses any catalog by type and genre, and switching between Movies and Shows takes you to the same catalog for the other type. There is also search, collections, favourites, a calendar of airing episodes, and a page for every title and person. Rate a movie, show or season from its page.
• Versions. Your streams, sorted and named by your formatter. Switch version mid-play, or turn on Skip the version list to play the one you last watched. Something you were partway through resumes in the version you were watching. Notices and errors from your addons are listed after the versions, with a button to open any link.
• External players. Pick VLC, Infuse, Outplayer or IINA under External player in the settings, or enter your own player's link, and each version gets a button to open it there, or every version opens there. Infuse starts where you left off, with the file's name and the subtitles from your subtitle addons, and when you come back from it, the app saves your place.
• Player. Audio and subtitle tracks in your preferred languages, subtitles from your subtitle addons in your own size, height, colours and outline, playback speed, and fit, crop or stretch. Subtitle size and height can also be changed while you watch. Buttons for the previous or next episode, and your media keys and system media controls work too.
• Skipping. Intros, recaps and credits are marked on the seek bar. Under Settings → Skipping, choose for each kind, previews and ads included, whether to show a skip button, skip automatically or do nothing.
• Next episode. Near the end, the player offers the next episode and can play it after a countdown, picking the version from the same release where there is one.
• Subtitle sync. When subtitles are out of time, nudge them with z and x, sync them by ear, or pick the spoken line from a list. The fix is remembered for each version.
• Keyboard, remote and gamepad. The arrow keys, a TV remote or a gamepad move between everything on screen. Press ? for every shortcut, and change any of them, a remote's or gamepad's buttons included, under Settings → Shortcuts.
• Activity. Your watch history by day or as a table, where you can mark things unwatched, remove them or export them. The primary user also sees everyone's history and what each person is playing right now.
• Household profiles. Everyone in the household has their own profile, with their own Continue Watching and an optional PIN. Switch without signing out.
• Themes and custom CSS. Preset themes, your own accent and background colours, and custom CSS with documented hooks.

Settings has a page of its own: audio and subtitle languages, how subtitles look, the next-episode prompt, skipping, shortcuts, what home features, and the theme. Languages, home and the theme are saved to your account, so they follow you to every device, and Jellyfin apps use your languages too. The app also uses your addon's name and logo.

A browser only plays what it can decode, because the app plays streams as they are. For anything else, copy the stream link, open it in an external player, or use the desktop app. Jellyfin Desktop and Jellyfin for Android load the AIOStreams app too, but play through their own players, so everything plays there. In Jellyfin for Android, it also works with the app's own settings, external player, media controls and server list. The app guide covers what to expect in each.

The desktop app

The desktop app is the AIOStreams app in a window of its own, for Windows, Mac and Linux, with mpv playing the video. Everything above works the same, and mpv adds what a browser can't do:

• Plays nearly anything. MKV files, HEVC and AV1 video, and subtitles with their own styling. On Windows, HDR video plays in HDR.
• Surround sound. Set how many channels your speakers take, and pass Dolby and DTS audio through to a receiver that decodes them.
• Chapters. The player has a chapter menu and shows chapters on the seek bar. Where a file names its intro, recap, credits or preview chapters, the skip buttons use them, since they fit that exact file, and the server's markers fill in the rest. Where chapters are only numbered, one as long as an anime opening or ending near the start or end is taken as the intro or credits. Skip by the file's chapters, under Settings → Skipping, turns this off.
• Your own mpv setup. Add your own mpv.conf, input.conf, scripts and shaders, and press i for mpv's statistics.
• Discord. Show what you are watching on your Discord profile, and if you like, what you are browsing.
• Updates. It keeps itself up to date on Windows and Mac, in the background, and can follow nightly builds instead of releases. On Linux, install a newer Flatpak for now.

Download it from the desktop app's release, as an installer or a portable copy on Windows, an installer or app on a Mac, and a Flatpak on Linux. Then press Open in desktop app under Save & Install → AIOStreams app, and it opens with your address filled in. The portable copy can't be opened that way, so paste an address from Sign-in addresses into it instead. Your addons still run on your AIOStreams instance, and the app only sees them through the server, as libraries and versions. It also signs in to Jellyfin servers, so it can hold other servers besides yours.

The media server

Behind the app, every configuration is now also a media server, running on your AIOStreams instance. Nothing is imported, downloaded or stored. When you open or play something, AIOStreams asks your addons, exactly as it does for Stremio, and translates the answer for the app.

Its settings are in a window with Connect, Users, Trackers and Playback tabs. Open it with Users, trackers and playback under Save & Install → AIOStreams app, or with the Jellyfin apps card.

Jellyfin apps

The server speaks Jellyfin's API, so Jellyfin apps can sign in to it like any other Jellyfin server, with no Jellyfin to install. Swiftfin, Findroid, Streamyfin, Jellyfin for Android TV, Jellyfin for Kodi and Infuse all work.

Open Save & Install, then the Jellyfin apps card. Its Connect tab has everything an app asks for:

1. In the app, add a server and paste the Address with a sign-in picker. The app then lists your configuration's users on its sign-in screen, so there is no UUID to type.
2. Pick a user and enter your configuration password.

The picker address holds the same secret as your install links, so only use it on your own household's devices. On a TV, use Quick Connect instead: pick it on the app's sign-in screen and type the six-digit code the app shows into the Connect tab. The plain Server address (https://aiostreams.example.com/jellyfin) works too, with the Username shown there: your configuration's UUID, or its alias if you gave it one through a profile. With an alias, the picker address is short too, https://aiostreams.example.com/jellyfin/u/<alias>, so you can type it on a TV. The Jellyfin apps guide has every combination.

Libraries

Each catalog becomes a library, in the order set under Addons → Catalogs. Searching in an app searches the catalogs that support search. A catalog of collections, such as a set of streaming services or film series, becomes a Collections library. Changes you save reach connected apps within about 30 seconds.

An instance limits how many libraries a configuration shows (20 by default) and how many titles each lists (250). The Connect tab shows your instance's numbers. Catalogs past the library limit do not appear at all, so move the ones you care about to the top.

Playing

Opening a movie or an episode searches your addons and lists what comes back as versions. They are named by your formatter and listed in your sort order, so pressing play without choosing plays the stream Stremio would put at the top.

The Playback tab controls this:

• Versions per item sets how many streams to offer, up to the instance's maximum (10 by default).
• Resolve streams when an item opens is on by default. Turn it off and nothing is searched until you press play, which is lighter on your addons.
• Mark unaired episodes is on by default, so apps show episodes that haven't aired yet as unaired and don't offer to play them. Some apps hide unaired episodes altogether; turn it off there to see them.

Notices, errors and statistics your addons return are listed after the versions. Stremio shows these as links to open, which a Jellyfin app cannot do, so there you only see their text. The AIOStreams app has a button to open any link.

The file's own audio and subtitle tracks are listed when its media info has them. When only the languages are known, each language gets a numbered track, such as Audio 2, so you can still pick one by language.

Streams are played directly, never transcoded, so your device has to handle the file as it is. If one version will not start, try another. A stream that needs custom request headers can only play through a proxy set up under Proxy, so without a proxy it is left out.

Skip intro and credits, on by default, gives the apps intro, recap and credits markers, and the app shows a skip button. The markers come from community databases:

• IntroDB covers series, plus end credits for movies.
• AniSkip covers anime.
• PublicMetaDB covers movies as well as series. It needs an API key. If the instance has none, enter your own on the Playback tab.
• Anime Skip also covers anime, when the instance owner has set it up.

They are all asked at once. For each kind of marker, the first database on the list that has one supplies it. The Playback tab lists the databases your instance uses and lets you pick which markers to offer. Whether the app skips on its own is a setting in the app.

Watch history and trackers

AIOStreams keeps your progress, played marks and favourites itself. That is what fills Continue Watching and Next Up, and it is the same on every app you sign in to.

An addon that supports the new Watch State resource can act as a tracker. The Trackers tab lists the ones in your configuration and what each does:

• Records your plays. What you watch in the apps is sent to the addon, so the watch-history service behind it stays up to date. The apps report pause, stop and your position as you watch, so a tracker knows a finished episode from one abandoned a minute in. Stremio never tells an addon that.
• Imports your history. What the addon knows you watched elsewhere, including in Stremio, shows up in Continue Watching and Next Up.
• Keeps your watchlist in step with your favourites, when the addon has a watchlist.
• Hides shows you dropped. A show you dropped on the tracker's service stays out of Next Up. You can drop a show yourself with Drop show on its page in the AIOStreams app, or by disliking it in a Jellyfin app, and the tracker hears about it. Playing a dropped show brings it back.
• Keeps your ratings in step. Rate a movie, show or season in the AIOStreams app and a tracker that supports ratings gets it. Ratings you give on the tracker's service come back.

To stop an addon syncing, untick Watch State in that addon's Resources option.

Household users

The Users tab adds profiles to your server, one per person. Everyone signs in with the configuration password, by typing their name or picking it from the sign-in picker.

• A user's history is either their own or shared with you.
• Variants can be applied per user, so one person gets different filters, or a different debrid account.
• With Choose trackers, each user with their own history syncs with their own tracker addons, such as a separate watch-history account per person. A tracker addon that supports it can instead keep a history for each user from a single install.
• A PIN of 4 to 12 digits stops others in the household signing in as that user, the primary user included. The AIOStreams app asks for it at sign-in and when switching to that user. Jellyfin apps take it after the password, as yourpassword/1234, and Quick Connect asks for it before approving. Changing a user's PIN signs them out on every device.
• If the instance allows it, a user with a PIN of 6 or more digits can sign in on the picker address with just their PIN. Give each person the picker address and their own PIN, and they never need your configuration password.

Removing a user keeps their history. Add them back under the same name and it returns.

API keys

A tool that uses the Jellyfin API, such as a dashboard or a script, can connect with an API key instead of your password. Create one under API keys on the Connect tab. A key acts as the server's administrator: it sees every user of your configuration, including what each is watching right now. It stops working when you revoke it or change the configuration password.

For addon developers

When serving the apps, AIOStreams reads more from addons than Stremio does:

• Extra metadata fields: credits, taglines, ratings, studios and library art.
• A collection block that turns a meta into a group of movies, shows and other collections.
• Subtitle titles, and forced and hearing-impaired flags.
• The watch_state resource that trackers implement, ratings included, which can name the household user so one install serves everyone.

Stremio ignores all of them, so an addon that uses them is still a normal Stremio addon. The addon protocol reference documents each one.

For everyone

Audio and subtitle tracks

Media info used to boil a file down to lists: its languages, its subtitle languages, its audio formats. It now keeps every track a probe found. A track has its language, title and codec, plus the format and channels for audio. It also carries the flags the file sets: default, forced, hearing impaired, commentary, dub, original language and audio description.

Tracks come from the same media info that already filled in accurate languages and subtitles: the probe data StremThru provides for debrid results from the built-in addons and service-wrapped addons. For other addons, an optional RemuxDB lookup can fill it in. A stream without media info has no tracks.

In the formatter, {stream.audioTracks} and {stream.subtitleTracks} are lists of tracks. Narrow them with ::where, take one field from each with ::pluck, or render each track with ::each:

{stream.subtitleTracks::where('hearingImpaired')::exists["CC"||""]}
{stream.subtitleTracks::where('forced')::pluck('lang')::languageEmoji::join(' ')}
{stream.audioTracks::each("{track.lang::languageCode} {track.tag} {track.channels}")::join(' | ')}

  ->  EN TrueHD 7.1 | EN DD 2.0 | FR DD+ 5.1

In stream expressions, audioTrack() and subtitleTrack() match a stream when a single track meets every condition. So an English track that is also forced counts, but an English track plus a separate forced track does not:

subtitleTrack(streams, 'lang=English', 'forced')
audioTrack(streams, 'lang=Japanese', 'original')
negate(subtitleTrack(streams, 'codec~pgs'), streams)

Many releases only mark SDH or commentary in a track's title, so title~sdh catches more than the hearingImpaired flag does. You can add and edit tracks on the sample stream in the formatter's preview panel. The formatter reference and the stream expression reference list every field.

The formatter

Your own preferences, as fields. The new {user.*} fields hold the lists you configured: languages, subtitles, resolutions, qualities, visual tags, audio tags, audio channels, encodes, stream types, release groups and keywords. Each one combines that list's preferred, required and included values.

Pass one of these fields in place of a value to ::where, ::in, or the new ::keep and ::remove, and a template can react to your configuration instead of repeating it. Change your preferred languages and the template follows.

{stream.languages::in({user.languages})["⭐"||""]}
{stream.audioTags::keep({user.audioTags})::join(', ')}
{stream.subtitleTracks::where('lang={user.subtitles}', '!forced')::exists["💬"||""]}

Also new:

• {stream.site} is the site a release names in its title, such as www.UIndex.org.
• ::trim strips whitespace, or any characters you give it, from both ends. With {stream.site} it tidies a filename: {stream.filename::replace('{stream.site}','')::trim(' -')}.
• ::replace works on lists too, swapping every element equal to the first value for the second. The new ::unique drops repeated elements, such as the ones a replace leaves behind or two English tracks rendered by ::each: {stream.visualTags::replace('HDR10+', 'HDR')::unique::join(' | ')} gives HDR | DV.
• Templates can be three times as long. The default limit rose from 5,000 characters to 15,000.

Variants

• insert puts a value anywhere in a list. add and prepend only reach the ends. Anchor it on a selector so it still lands in the right place after you reorder the list:

  insert after excludedStreamExpressions[expression*="Torbox Download Limit"] = {
    "expression": "/*No 4K*/ resolution(streams, '2160p')",
    "enabled": true
  }

• [*] also walks an object's values, not just a list's elements, so one instruction reaches every sort list you have defined. insert sortCriteria[*][1] = { "key": "resolution", "direction": "desc" } makes resolution the second criterion in each.

• Any number of variants can combine. The cap of four per request is gone. Instead, everything one request applies shares a single budget of instructions. The reference now spells out what applies, in what order when a variant chosen in the URL and variants activated by their conditions meet.

• Conditions can tell apps apart on the media server. There, userAgent ends with the app's name, version and device, so includes(userAgent, 'Swiftfin') applies a variant to one app. The Variants tab's list of recent user agents includes them.

The reference has more on inserting at a position.

TsukiHime

TsukiHime is a new built-in addon for anime, contributed by webstreamr. It searches TsukiHime's public torrent index by MAL and AniDB id, falling back to a title search. For the releases TsukiHime uploads itself, it also has NZBs, which go to your usenet services, so one addon covers both debrid and usenet. TorBox, which handles either, always gets the torrent.

The catalog editor

The catalog list under Addons → Catalogs has been rebuilt for configurations with dozens of catalogs.

• One line per catalog, with buttons for what you change most: move it to the top or bottom, shuffle or reverse it, poster services, whether it shows on the home page, and its switch. The rest, such as its name and type, open in a window from its settings button.
• Search and filters. A toolbar that stays in view as you scroll finds catalogs by name, addon, type and status: on, off, on the home page, not on it, or new.
• Change many at once. Tick catalogs, or everything the filters show, and the Actions menu turns them on or off, puts them on the home page or only on Discover, switches poster services on or off, moves them to the top or bottom, or merges them into one catalog.
• New catalogs that appeared since you last saved are marked New. Addon options, in the same menu, sets for each addon whether its new catalogs start on, and whether its catalogs keep the addon's own order within the positions you gave them, so new ones land beside the rest.

A catalog that needs a genre only appears on Stremio's Discover page. Its settings now have Show on Home, which puts it on the home page too, opened on its first genre.

Release groups

An update to the release name parser means release groups are read more reliably. The parser also ignores the tags that reposters and indexers add after the group. These are everywhere on usenet: in Movie.2024.1080p.WEB-DL.x264-GROUP-AsRequested or ...-GROUP-Obfuscated, the release group is now GROUP, not AsRequested or Obfuscated. Release group filters, sorting and the formatter all see the real group.

Common suffixes are recognised out of the box, and instance owners can add more.

Steadier under load

Most of this release's performance work is aimed at busy public instances. Some jobs used to run from start to finish without letting anything else through: reading a large indexer response, ranking thousands of streams against a regex list, or going through a download with thousands of files. While one of them ran, every other request on the instance waited.

These jobs now run in short slices, so other requests keep moving while they run, and they use less CPU. A busy instance should see fewer slowdowns and smaller CPU spikes.

Smaller things

• PenguPlay is available as a preset: movies, series and live TV from public hosts, with provider and quality filters.
• Ten more indexers are in the Newznab preset's list: abNZB, AmeNZB, Digital Carnage, GingaDADDY, NewzBay, NZB Atlas, NzbNest, PourCeSoir, SquareEyed and Videothek. Contributed by webstreamr, and SquareEyed by Spoorloos.
• Bitmagnet has a Search Mode option. It can search by ID where Bitmagnet supports it, always by title, or both. Title search was the only behaviour before, and it is still the default.
• Only Same-Release Failover, under Services → Failover, only fails over to other copies of the release you picked, never to a different release. Contributed by webstreamr.
• Also Check Result Age, in the Digital Release Filter under Filters → Miscellaneous, also blocks results uploaded before the title's release or air date, when the result's age is known. Contributed by webstreamr.
• There are four new stream expression filters: editions(), network(), container() and extension().
• RemuxDB Integration, under Filters → Miscellaneous, looks results up in RemuxDB's database of probed files. It fills in media info, tracks included, for addons that StremThru does not cover. It is off by default. Each lookup sends the title's IMDb ID, with the season and episode, from the instance. Contributed by webstreamr.
• Drafts can be checked before you restore them. The redesigned banner's Review button shows what restoring would change in the configuration you have loaded.
• Remember me, the renamed Stay signed in on this device box, is now ticked by default. Creating a configuration also signs you in to it, and changing its password keeps you signed in on the device you changed it from.

For self-hosters

Faster Newznab and Torznab searches

On an instance only you use, you are unlikely to notice the performance work, except in the built-in Newznab and Torznab searches:

• Responses are read about seven times faster. That takes roughly a tenth off a search that is not already cached.
• On Redis, their cache entries take about a twelfth of the space. Large cache values are now stored compressed. The biggest search responses, such as a full season of a long-running show, used to go over Max cached value size and were fetched again every time. Now they are cached.

Version on the dashboard

The dashboard's overview has a Version card. It shows the version you run, linked to its release, with when it was built, and whether a newer release is out and how many you are behind. It links the changelog post for the latest version, and All releases lists every release with its notes. On a nightly build it follows nightly builds instead and shows the commit.

New settings

• Media server, under Settings → Media server. Enable media server (JELLYFIN_ENABLED) is on by default. Max libraries per configuration (JELLYFIN_MAX_LIBRARIES, 20), Max items per library (JELLYFIN_MAX_CATALOG_ITEMS, 250), Max versions per item (JELLYFIN_MAX_VERSIONS, 10) and Max users per configuration (JELLYFIN_MAX_PERSONAS, 20) set the limits. Resolve streams when an item is opened (JELLYFIN_RESOLVE_ON_OPEN) can force that behaviour on or off for everyone. Skip intro and credits (JELLYFIN_SEGMENTS_ENABLED, on) sends what is being played to the marker databases. Segment providers (JELLYFIN_SEGMENTS_PROVIDERS) sets which databases are asked and in what order. It defaults to IntroDB, AniSkip and PublicMetaDB. Anime Skip is only used with an Anime Skip client id (JELLYFIN_SEGMENTS_ANIME_SKIP_CLIENT_ID). A PublicMetaDB API key (JELLYFIN_SEGMENTS_PMDB_API_KEY) covers every configuration without its own. Leave it empty and PublicMetaDB is only used by configurations that bring a key. Sign in with a PIN alone (JELLYFIN_PIN_SIGN_IN, off) lets a household user with a PIN of 6 or more digits sign in on the picker address without the configuration password. Leave it off on a public instance: it lets a configuration owner hand out sign-ins to the apps without sharing their password. Logins, API calls and images each have their own rate limit: JELLYFIN_LOGIN_RATE_LIMIT_*, JELLYFIN_API_RATE_LIMIT_* and JELLYFIN_IMAGE_RATE_LIMIT_*.
• Watch State, under Settings → Watch State. Report playback to addons (WATCH_STATE_REPORT_ENABLED) and Read watch state from addons (WATCH_STATE_PULL_ENABLED) are both on. Max addons exchanged with (WATCH_STATE_MAX_SINKS, 3) limits how many trackers a configuration can use. Minimum resume percentage (WATCH_STATE_MIN_RESUME_PERCENT, 5) and Played percentage (WATCH_STATE_PLAYED_PERCENT, 90) set how far a stopped playback has to get to keep a resume point and to count as played.
• Repost suffixes, under Settings → Addon Resources (REPOST_SUFFIXES), is the list of tags the parser ignores after a release group. End an entry with * to match anything that starts with it.
• Enable release blocklist, under Settings → Blocklists (RELEASE_BLOCKLIST_ENABLED, on), switches off the whole release blocklist in one go. While it is off, nothing is filtered, no new verdicts are recorded and subscribed lists stop syncing. Existing entries are kept. Contributed by webstreamr.
• Max linked accounts per configuration, under Settings → General (LINKED_ACCOUNTS_MAX_PER_USER, 10).
• RemuxDB, under Settings → RemuxDB (REMUXDB_ENABLED, on), makes the RemuxDB lookup available to users. Lookups go out from your server. Turning this off hides the option and stops them.
• DATABASE_POOL_SIZE (10) sets how many PostgreSQL connections the instance opens. It is a startup setting with no dashboard equivalent. Requests, background tasks and watch-state imports all share this pool, so an instance with many people using the apps wants a bigger one.

Upgrading

Nothing in this release changes install URLs or needs a manual migration. A few things are worth checking.

Private addresses. One setting now decides whether your server connects to private, loopback and link-local addresses, such as http://addon:3000 on a Docker network: Settings → Outbound Requests → Allow private addresses (ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS). It covers every URL a user enters or an addon returns, and it is on by default. It replaces the separate switches, off by default, for health checks, regex and stream expression sync URLs, tracker addons and linked AIOManager instances. On a public instance, turn it off, or anyone who can create a configuration can make your server send requests into your network. Off, it now covers addon URLs too, not just those four features. Addresses you set yourself, in any setting or environment variable, are always allowed. HEALTH_CHECK_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS, SYNC_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS, WATCH_STATE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS and LINKED_ACCOUNTS_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS are read as other names for it, so one of them set to false now turns private addresses off for everything.

Network names. The parser now uses the names the services use for themselves. Amazon is now Prime Video, Disney is Disney+, HBO is HBO Max and Paramount is Paramount+. Update any formatter template that compares {stream.network} against the old names.

Variant limits. MAX_VARIANT_INSTRUCTIONS, MAX_ACTIVE_VARIANTS and MAX_VARIANT_DEPTH are gone. No per-script cap could bound what nested use variant instructions expand to, so one budget now covers everything a request applies: Settings → User Limits → Max variant instructions per request (MAX_VARIANT_TOTAL_INSTRUCTIONS, 5000). A request that runs out stops there and says so. The old variables are ignored.

Newznab and Torznab caps. Built-in Newznab and Torznab searches take at most 1,000 results and 10 MB per response. Change these under Settings → Built-ins with Newznab/Torznab max results per request (BUILTIN_NAB_MAX_RESULTS) and Newznab/Torznab max response size (BUILTIN_NAB_MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES). An indexer that returns more is cut off at the cap with a warning, and the search still succeeds.

Several replicas on one Redis. Large cache values are now stored compressed. The new version reads old values fine, but an older version logs a parse error every time it reads a compressed value, until that value expires. Upgrade every replica together.

A database from another build. If a database's migrations were applied by a different build of AIOStreams, such as a fork or a development branch, startup now refuses it and names the migrations that conflict. Before, the instance ran on a schema it did not expect. To fix it, point DATABASE_URI at a fresh database or go back to the build that created it. Upgrading from a release is not affected.

What is on by default. The media server at /jellyfin, with skip markers and watch state in both directions. RemuxDB is also available by default, but each user has to turn it on for themselves. New settings says where to switch each one off. Private addresses are allowed too, as described above.
